10. Shopping around

Gresham Blake

"You don’t want your tailor to hard sell you a suit. If my customers say they want a suit in four weeks I say: 'You’ve gotta do it now, otherwise I won’t be able to make it for you.' If they want it in three months or further they should speak to other people too.

You talk to people and sometimes you feel good about them and at other times you don’t. Get recommendations and speak to people about their experiences. Or else have a look on the internet to see what kind of feedback tailors are getting."
